There was one thing I am trying to figure out which I was hoping maybe =
in some other tools. From the server end perform a report that all =
clients are sucsesfully backuping up or not - plus other details, is =
there enough info at the server end to do this?

Thanks

When the space used reaches the soft limit, the housekeeping process=20
will start deleting older files to keep the space used below this=20
value. It won't grow indefinitely! If bbackupd attempts to upload a=20
file which would take usage over the hard limit, then the file will not=20
be accepted.=20

Just set soft and hard limits appropriately, and everything will be=20
fine.=20

There will be more control in the version after the next version. I'm=20
just putting the finishing touches to storage of older versions on the=20
server as patches from the latest version (all works, just working on=20
the "fix broken account" code), and then will write up a spec for what=20
I'm going to do and post it here for comments. This will essentially=20
emulate what you can do with tapes, but use less space.=20
